Have you ever played Sims2? I ask because you can have babies on the game and they grow up to be toddlers then to be kids, teenagers and then into adults. Well, as a parent/adult you can put them in a crib, feed them, read to them, love them, teach them how to walk, teach them how to talk, give them baths and train them to use the potty.
I don't have kids of my own so I thought this was really cool- until- until they started crying out of control, throwing tantrums and wouldn't do what I told them to do to make everybody's life easier.
You see, I would tell the kid to go potty but the kid would just sit there and not go but then he'd pee in his pants a little later on while crawling around and get all stinky and then I'd have to bathe him or otherwise he/she would REALLY start throwing a tantrum because apparently, they don't like to stink. Or I would tell the kid to eat and he'd just throw the bottle and lay on the floor and cry because he was tired but I'd put him to bed and he'd want a bottle.
Okay, so why am I writing about this? Well, I've noticed I'm not too patient with the poor kids. I'm really nice as a mother until they started throwing the tantrums and not listening to me. If they wouldn't go in the potty and then later on stink their pants, I would let them walk around with their urine stink and watch them tantrums. I saw the stink they didn't like to have as punishment for not going potty when I told them to a hundred and eight times. I know how mean this is and I know it's just a game but is this something anyone else can relate to?
I feel like a horrible person because I really enjoy watching them throwing a stink tantrum and I let them go for days with the stink. (They got green smoke coming off of them in the graphics to show the stink.)
Then I'll finally bathe them and kiss them silly when they use the potty like I tell them to.
How demented do you think this is. I love being mean to them when they're being bratty.
(Good thing I don't have kids.)
